WARNING: Always wear eye protec- tion. Never lean over the trimmer head. Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into eyes and face and cause blindness or other serious injury.

sist handle with left hand.

S Cut only from your right to your left to ensure debris is thrown away from you. Without bending over, keep line near and parallel to the ground (perpendicular when edging) and not crowded into material being cut.

ADVANCING THE CUTTING LINE

The cutting head advances line automati-

cally. Do not tap head on the ground to ad- vance line. This may break parts and cause cutting head to malfunction.

Upon unit start up, the line will advance auto- matically to the correct cutting path length. Always keep the shield in place when the tool is being operated.

WARNING: Use only 0.065 inch (1.65 mm) diameter round line. Other sizes and shapes of line will not advance properly and will result in improper cutting head func- tion or can cause serious injury. Do not use other materials such as wire, string, rope, etc. Wire can break off during cutting and become a dangerous missile that can cause serious injury. See page 2 for warning concerning other cutting devices.

TRIMMING
